What to know

  • Google Tasks is developing a dedicated “Plan your day” view for managing daily tasks.
  • The view summarizes open and pending tasks while providing deadline, starring, and Google Calendar actions.
  • We found the feature in code from the unreleased Google Tasks v2026.09.14.980825429.0-release build, but could not surface it in the app yet.

Google already offers broader day-planning and task-management capabilities through surfaces such as Google Assistant’s “Plan your day” topic and Gemini Daily Brief. However, those existing features do not describe a dedicated daily-planning view inside Google Tasks itself.

Now, a teardown of Google Tasks v2026.09.14.980825429.0-release reveals that the app is preparing its own “Plan your day” surface. The newly added code points to a focused view that gathers outstanding work, distinguishes between open and pending tasks, and puts several useful task actions within reach.

About APK teardowns — An APK teardown works by reading the not-yet-shipped code inside a beta build, which lets us preview features a developer is working on before they’re announced. But work-in-progress code can change, stay hidden behind a server-side flag, or be scrapped before it ever reaches your phone.

Google Tasks is preparing a daily-planning view

The clearest addition is a new “Plan your day” label accompanied by separate summaries for open and pending tasks. Both summaries use plural-aware counters, allowing the interface to show a single task or a larger total without relying on fixed wording.

Together, these strings point to a dedicated overview rather than another name for an individual task list. The view appears designed to give you a quick assessment of unfinished work before you decide what to tackle next.

MSG_PLAN_YOUR_DAY = “Plan your day”
MSG_OPEN_TASKS = “{COUNT, plural, =1 {1 open task} other {# open tasks}}”
MSG_PENDING_TASKS_SUMMARY = “{COUNT, plural, =1 {1 pending task} other {# pending tasks}}”
MSG_ASSIGNED_TO_YOU = “Assigned to you”

Deadlines, starring, and Calendar access are part of the flow

The surrounding code also references an “Add deadline” control, options to star or unstar a task, and an action for viewing a task in Google Calendar. An accessibility label indicating that a task “Has deadline” provides another link between the planning surface and time-sensitive work.

These controls suggest that the view will do more than count incomplete items. You should be able to prioritize a task by starring it, attach a deadline when one is missing, or move into Google Calendar to see the task in a scheduling context. The code also includes familiar completion controls, including an option to mark a task completed or reverse that status.

MSG_ADD_DEADLINE_PLACEHOLDER = “Add deadline”
MSG_STAR_TASK_A11Y = “Star task”
MSG_UNSTAR_TASK_A11Y = “Unstar task”
MSG_VIEW_TASK_IN_CALENDAR = “View in Google Calendar”
list_widget_a11y_has_deadline = “Has deadline”
MSG_MARK_COMPLETED = “Mark completed”
MSG_MARK_UNCOMPLETED = “Mark uncompleted”

Google Tasks’ “Plan your day” view is not available to users yet; we’ll watch future builds for signs of its rollout.
